I was listening to Lebetard yesterday when he had Bess on. Bess sounded pretty set on keeping his number. He did, however, say that if there were some crazy amount of money offered up he would be stupid not to do it. But he kept repeating "I'm very excited to wear the number 15 next year."

Um . . . do agents get a cut of jersey swapping transactions?

I'm thinking they probably do. They are pretty much lawyers, they have their hands in everything.

Re: Bess says his jersey number isn't for sale

I know this hasn't been said but I'm sure thought about. If Bess isn't even here this season and gets traded then this is a non issue. I am not saying that he should be or shouldn't be traded but out of all our receivers, he has the most value. Just my opinion.

Re: Bess says his jersey number isn't for sale

cboy72 does have a good point. However, I'd not only be very shocked if that happened, but pretty disappointed. With a true outside threat now, Bess will be even more dangerous than he's ever been, especially in the slot and over the middle. I think most of our WR's will benefit from Marshall garnering a constant double-team. With that said, I think the jersey issue will be an interesting subject in the next few months. I can see it already . . . . .

We will see what he says when he has the money siting in front of his face lol and as far he might not be on the team this year if we got rid of Wes who was just like Bess well a little better but still we let him go we let Zack go and now could be JT

I am a big Bess fan because I'm from Hawaii. In all honesty, I think Marshall should pick another number. IMHO I think new team, new town, new environment, new number would be a no brainer. Kind of a fresh start kinda thing.

I think so to who cares what number you have as long as he plays the same out there dont think the D-fence will be like oh look he got a new # so he will suck this year they are more worried about who is under the # and they should be........Just got a e-mail from Revise Island he is looking for some help said he is worried about the new Marshall in town lol

Re: Bess says his jersey number isn't for sale

What number did he wear in college? Maybe he can get that number if its not already taken.
